Tears of the Kingdom Critique: Open Worlds Are Dead

There are plenty of things to like about Tears of the Kingdom, and the first few play sessions you have with the game can be really enjoyable. But in a game as massive as this one - and with this much repetition - sooner or later it's going to hit you what a pointless waste of time it is. Tears of the Kingdom will be the game that killed open-world games.
